Fast 6 ms response time

One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to how long it takes pixels to turn from completely white to black and back again - the lower the milliseconds (ms), the faster the response time is. A fast 6 ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes.

---

40,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio

High-resolution pixel density is combined with a built-in image scaler to handle inputs from a variety of digital and analog audio/video sources.

---

Energy Star compliant

By being Energy Star compliant you are assured that your Samsung model is helping the environment by using less energy while saving you money. Energy Star is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy promoting energy efficiency.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size= Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent TV with crisp, vibrant display, December 16, 2009

This review is from: Samsung LN46B500 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics)

This TV is excellent and the display is crisp and vibrant. I do not understand why anyone really cares about the number of HDMI connections since you can easily add a cheap amplifier or a receiver with multiple HDMI inputs. Sound quality is also excellent on this TV as it has SRS surround sound.

I bought this LCD TV for an excellent price and I'm glad I didn't waste my money on the "more MHZ is better" myth. I went to the store to check out the 120mhz and 240mhz TVs and I didn't see one bit of difference. Save yourself a lof of money and buy yourself an older 60mhz model. It looks just as good.

The antenna is also the same as almost every TV out there. I have several LCD TVs from several different brands and the antenna reception is exactly the same. Buy this TV today, but be sure and wait for a deal because you can easily get this TV for under $700.

LN46B500 Review
-----------------

Got it on black friday for 797. This TV is great. I had tried a Sony 46S5100 and this TV is much better than that.

The only negative is the number of HDMI ports ( only 2) , but again we can get HDMI splitter for cheap.

The picture quality is great. Audio is good. Not much glare even in rooms with bright light.
I havent played any games so can't comment on that.

So far I am happy with my purchase.
